| | | | | * slub numa: Fix rare allocation from unexpected nodeChristoph Lameter2010-07-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The network developers have seen sporadic allocations resulting in objects coming from unexpected NUMA nodes despite asking for objects from a specific node. This is due to get_partial() calling get_any_partial() if partial slabs are exhausted for a node even if a node was specified and therefore one would expect allocations only from the specified node. get_any_partial() sporadically may return a slab from a foreign node to gradually reduce the size of partial lists on remote nodes and thereby reduce total memory use for a slab cache. The behavior is controlled by the remote_defrag_ratio of each cache. Strictly speaking this is permitted behavior since __GFP_THISNODE was not specified for the allocation but it is certain surprising. This patch makes sure that the remote defrag behavior only occurs if no node was specified.

Only possible after the use of the slub_lock during dynamic dma creation has been removed. Then make sure that the setup of the slab sysfs entries does not race with kmem_cache_create and kmem_cache destroy. If a slab cache is removed before we have setup sysfs then simply skip over the sysfs handling.

So there is no need anymore to put a flag into each slab page. Get rid of the SlubDebug flag and use the flags in kmem_cache instead.

| | * | | slab: use deferable timers for its periodic housekeepingArjan van de Ven2010-07-201-1/+1
| | |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | slab has a "once every 2 second" timer for its housekeeping. As the number of logical processors is growing, its more and more common that this 2 second timer becomes the primary wakeup source. This patch turns this housekeeping timer into a deferable timer, which means that the timer does not interrupt idle, but just runs at the next event that wakes the cpu up. The impact is that the timer likely runs a bit later, but during the delay no code is running so there's not all that much reason for a difference in housekeeping to occur because of this delay.

When physical address higher than 32-bit is passed to ioremap(), higher 32-bits in physical address is cleared wrongly. Due to this bug, ioremap() can map wrong address to linear address space. In my case, 64-bit MMIO region was assigned to a PCI device (ioat device) on my system. Because of the ioremap()'s bug, wrong physical address (instead of MMIO region) was mapped to linear address space. Because of this, loading ioatdma driver caused unexpected behavior (kernel panic, kernel hangup, ...).

This is primarily to allow slab to depend on working percpu allocator. Two parameters, PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE and SLOTS, determine how much memory space and allocation map slots are reserved. If this reserved area is exhausted, WARN_ON_ONCE() will trigger and allocation will fail till slab comes online. The following changes are made to implement early alloc. * pcpu_mem_alloc() now checks slab_is_available() * Chunks are allocated using pcpu_mem_alloc() * Init paths make sure ai->dyn_size is at least as large as PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE. * Initial alloc maps are allocated in __initdata and copied to kmalloc'd areas once slab is online.

There's no use case for forcing 0 and the upcoming early alloc support always requires non-zero dynamic size. Make @dyn_size always mean minimum dyn_size. While at it, make pcpu_build_alloc_info() static which doesn't have any external caller as suggested by David Rientjes.

But it is reported that if the poisoned page is accessed in guest after unmapping and before MCE is relayed to guest OS, userspace will be killed. The reason is as follows. Because poisoned page has been un-mapped, guest access will cause guest exit and kvm_mmu_page_fault will be called. kvm_mmu_page_fault can not get the poisoned page for fault address, so kernel and user space MMIO processing is tried in turn. In user MMIO processing, poisoned page is accessed again, then userspace is killed by force_sig_info. To fix the bug, kvm_mmu_page_fault send HWPOISON signal to QEMU-KVM and do not try kernel and user space MMIO processing for poisoned page.

I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page), yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer. Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change, but let's not risk it without testing exposure. Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages? Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages.

Second use a real completion for tracking synchronous requests - if the caller sets the completion pointer we complete it, otherwise use it as a boolean indicator that we can free the work item directly. Third unify struct wb_writeback_args and struct bdi_work into a single data structure, wb_writeback_work. Previous we set all parameters into a struct wb_writeback_args, copied it into struct bdi_work, copied it again on the stack to use it there.

| |/ / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bdi_start_writeback now never gets a superblock passed, so we can just remove that case. And to further untangle the code and flatten the call stack split it into two trivial helpers for it's two callers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() determines whether the passed in @addr belongs to the first_chunk or not by just matching the address against the address range of the base unit (unit0, used by cpu0). When an adress from another cpu was passed in, it will always determine that the address doesn't belong to the first chunk even when it does. This makes the function return a bogus physical address which may lead to crash. This problem was discovered by Cliff Wickman while investigating a crash during kdump on a SGI UV system.
